have a brand new Joomla site and tried to install JoomSEF. Got this error on the install:

Strict Standards: Declaration of JRouterJoomsef::parse() should be compatible with JRouter::parse(&$uri) in /home/ktpackag/public_html/joom3/components/com_sef/sef.router.php on line 73

That's at the top of the page above the menu. Down in the content area, I see this:

ARTIO JoomSEF installed succesfully!

Should I be worried? what does all that mean?

I just checked my site. I should be worried. The entire site is broken now.

I uninstalled it and all is fine again. Can I get my money back?

I called in my developer and gave him your zip file. He installed it again and saw the same error. Because there was a strict standard error that didn't really matter, he disabled that using PHP.INI so that it didn't show. He turned back on JoomSEF and now we get a white, blank page with this error at the top:

Fatal error: Cannot access property started with '\0' in /home/ktpackag/public_html/joom3/libraries/joomla/registry/registry.php on line 439

This extension completely corrupted our site and we may have to start all over at a point when we were completely done except for doing SEF urls. Needless to say, this is VERY UPSETTING.

Joomla 3.2.2 and PHP 5.4
JoomSEF - can't get to the backend to see, but it's your latest one. Just bought it yesterday.

Please help.

We found a solution and I'm posting it here for the benefit of all and for the developers so that they can fix their bug.

The problem is joomla global SEF settings are enabled by default in joomsef when you install. We disabled everything from configuration.php file sef=0, debug=maximum and now everything is fine. We are using Joomla 3.2.2

Hi,

Thank you for your report. We'll check the problem with global SEF setting on Joomla 3.2.2 and fix it as soon as possible.
I'm sorry for the troubles.
